The Mystery Machine is a van and main mode of transportation for Mystery Incorporated in the Scooby-Doo animated franchise. As the owner, Fred Jones has driven it in most incarnations, except for in the Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo shorts and Shaggy & Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!, in which Fred inexplicably had apparently given up ownership to Shaggy Rogers, and completely made sense, right?
